Here’s our “Living” Magazine Cover and Spread released with the October issue of Outside Magazine. Photographed with the Red One camera, we created our vision of how a motion-magazine of the not-too-distant future would look based on emerging technologies like flexible OLED and E Ink.

Music is “Gone Gone Days” by Two Years Before the Mast and “I Like Van Halen Because My Sister Says They Are Cool” which has got to be my favorite song title in the world by El Ten Eleven. You can buy El Ten Eleven’s music here: itunes.com/elteneleven

Thanks for the great work and showing us behind the scenes.

Visionary “visualinary” very impressed and captivated with this new medium and the level of professionalism you are approaching it with.

I have been in film production for thirty-five years but have been rediscovering myself in stills over the last eight, the motion that comes from stills. The study of the single frame somehow relates back to motion for me. You are evolving a fascinating concept. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! We’ve worked with the B2Pros before so we knew what to expect with the quality of light. If you’re in LA give Steve or Tristan a call at B2Pro. They set up demos frequently are are very helpful.

It use to take a photographer and a writer to do a story now you need (It looked like) a dozen or more. With the publishing world going down the tube I wonder how a publication could afford such an effort.,

[...] So liebe Fotokollegen, ich hoffe ihr habt alle schon eine Videokamera oder zumindest eine videofähige DSLR zu Hause. Sonst werden wir alle, zumindest wenn’s so kommt wie es Alexx Henry prophezeit, schon recht bald recht alt aussehen. Ein spannendes Video dazu findet ihr in seinem Blog. [...]

Hi Alexx, great work on the living cover and spread items, Very cool!

I’m wondering what medium/method they are “currently” using to get these out? I understand the future concepts, which are very cool. How are they building these into there current online mag?

Did you ever consider adding some differing opinions to your article? I think it might enhance everyone’s understanding.
